Jaen Baldwin · Founder & Principal Engineer
I plan the project, and I know how to build it.
Opening a location or rebuilding your IT takes more than choosing equipment. Someone has to work out what you need, explain the cost, coordinate the vendors, and make sure the finished system does what you bought it to do.
That is the work I do. I develop the design and proposal, organize the delivery, and lead the implementation. I also do the hands-on engineering.
Before changing a system, I want to know what depends on it. Which applications need to keep working? What is worth keeping? When can we make the change, and how do we get back if something goes wrong?
The whole project, not just the equipment.
The proposal should account for how everything will work together, who will install it, and what happens after the change.
Cabling and infrastructure
Cable paths, fiber, racks, switching, wireless, firewalls, and the connections between locations.
Network and infrastructure workServers and Microsoft
Windows Server, virtualization, Microsoft 365, Azure, identity, permissions, and managed devices.
Microsoft and systems servicesKeep your technology working after the project.
Managed IT and help desk
User support, device management, Microsoft administration, maintenance, vendor coordination, and planning.

A new engagement does not have to mean a new manufacturer. JMB can assess, support, and improve an existing environment, or plan a replacement when there is a sound reason for it.

Long relationships. Difficult moments. Direct recommendations.
Signed letters from business leaders describe the reliability, judgment, recovery leadership, and business understanding behind the work.
“He is dependable, fully reliable, and highly responsive to all our IT requests.”
An 18-year technology relationship built around proactive maintenance, dependable systems, and direct response.
“My Used Car Manager said he ‘knew a guy’ that might be able to help us. Well, his ‘guy’ not only got our files back without paying the ransom, Jaen was able to help us modernize, grow and protect our system.”
Recovery became the beginning of a broader modernization and security relationship with a regional automotive operation.
“A leader will give you the information that you need to hear even when you may not want to hear it.”
Nine years of technical leadership across security-sensitive, multi-location real estate and escrow operations.

Meet Jaen
A business owner who does the engineering.
Before JMB, I built and led a technology company that grew to 38 people, including 23 technicians. That experience taught me how to scale delivery without losing technical accountability.
I have spent more than 27 years in technology. I have owned a technology business and been responsible for the budgets, employees, vendors, and customers. I also know the work inside the rack.
That experience helps me make recommendations that account for the technical problem and the business paying to solve it. When additional technicians or ongoing help desk coverage are needed, we plan those resources into the engagement.
